Here we go again with another Western-sensitivity called #CulturalAppropriation.Who are these "International" "fans" whining about cultural appropriation? If they grew up in the Western world, ignore them. If they grew up in Pacific-Asia, shame on them.It's #CulturalAPPRECIATION.#Kpop

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen VIVIZ – La La Love Me –Studio Choom.
I liked “La La Love Me” the first time I heard it, and the song has grown on me more and more ever since. Consequently, I was especially happy to see that there was to be a Studio Choom of the song, as that channel, with its high standards of videography and freedom from visual clutter, provides me with Kpop in a form I adore.
This Studio Choom did not disappoint me. The song only gets better as we watch the dance; I particularly appreciate the changes made to the choreography in each chorus. The black outfits, co-ordinated but not uniform, both suit the dance and display the physical beauty of the group without vulgarity. I also thought the hairstyling and accessories complemented the outfits so well, and even found myself reconciled to Eunha’s platforms. Kudos to the stylist!
I love this video. Watching it confirms my passion for Kpop!

Midweek New Music Roundup :: February 11th - 18th https://abuelaskpop.dreamwidth.org/67764.html
This week's listing features new music from WOODZ, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, plus many more!
Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Hearts2Hearts – Rude.
Loved everything about the chorus and Carmen and Ye-on's parts. In general I enjoy the bouncy, ultimately disco derived house sound. I wish they had gone a little lighter on the rap and I am afraid that Stella's English passage was a painful reminder that I am not in the target market.
The MV has a lot going on but does not feel cluttered to me. Lots of great outfits, but my favourites were the tennis dresses.
Overall, I liked "Rude" a lot and can see why this bright sound works for them; it works for this fan too!
Yet I must say that I hope that they will return at some point to the more mysterious atmosphere of "The Chase".
No doubt when it comes to my opinion though, SM couldn't even care less...
